A major influence and personal obsession, the paintings by Otto Dix of his daughter; ‘Nelly mit Spielzeug’ and ‘Nelly mit Blumen’ displayed in London in 1992 inspired these re-creations of the two paintings as tribute. It took 6 years but in 1998 I came across a little girl sitting alone on the steps outside a pizza restaurant who immediately resonated with the essence of the original works.
The girl called Marie Louise had serious medical issues from birth and due to treatment for a brain tumor had been in and out of hospitals her entire life. Due to some of the aggressive treatment when I met her was the first time she had been able to grow her hair.
Final Works: Marie Louise with Flowers and Marie Louise with Toys, 1998
Original paintings: Nelly Mit Blumen and Nelly Mit Spielzeug
